Recent federal budget measures introduced during the Trump administration included proposals to significantly decrease federal Medicaid funding and alter the program’s structure. Notably, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is projected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next decade. The legislation also introduces work requirements and increased cost-sharing, changes that could lead to reduced coverage and funding for selected beneficiaries. These shifts are anticipated to place more costs on states and limit federal Medicaid growth, even as the program continues to provide coverage for tens of millions of Americans.
